Sunday's NFL Winners and Losers

Winners: Green Bay Packers

Nice road win to keep the Packers atop of the NFC North standings. Aaron Rodgers was near-perfect, working the ball around to a list of receivers few outside of Green Bay have ever heard off. Eddie Lacy's groundwork was an added bonus. (AP Photo/Jim Mone)

Losers: Cowboys’...The Cowboys’ defense forced four turnovers against the Lions but didn’t have enough in the tank to thwart a last-minute rally when i mattered. Matt Stafford capped off the game-winning drive with a QB sneak en route to a 31-30 victory in Detroit. That has to make you sick to your stomach as a defensive coordinator. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)

Winner: Calvin J...The Lions showed off their offensive weapons on Sunday, driving down the length of the field in under a minute for the win. Seriously, does anyone have an answer for Megatron? It's tough to beat the Lions when Calvin Johnson has 329 receiving yards. In a word: wow. (AP Photo/Duane Burleson)

Losers: Eagles’ ...LeSean McCoy was held to a measly 46 yards rushing, and Michael Vick was sidelined early with a nagging hamstring injury. The Eagles flailing offense never reached the end zone on Sunday. That's bad, especially when you're facing a division rival that's now 2-6. (AP Photo/Michael Perez)

Winners: New Yor...Don’t look now but the Giants are the only NFC East team on a winning streak. Coach Coughlin has to be excited about Eli Manning’s performance as well. The QB went 25-of-39 with 246 yards and zero interceptions. (AP Photo/Michael Perez)

Winners: Kansas ...One of the worst NFL teams last season is now the only remaining undefeated squad. The Chiefs are off to an 8-0 start for only the second time in franchise history. (AP Photo/Ed Zurga)

Losers: Jacksonv...The Jaguars traveled all the way to London to receive a 42-10 whipping from the 49ers. Being 0-8 can’t be fun. (AP Photo/Sang Tan)

Losers: Miami Do...The Dolphins had everything going their way through the first three games of the season. It was a similar feeling on Sunday when they raced out to a 17-3 first-half lead over the Patriots, holding Tom Brady and the Pats' offense to just 59 total yards in the first two quarters. How the Dolphins didn’t win this one is beyond me. Oh, wait... (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer)

Winner: Drew Bre...Drew Brees had a big day for the Saints, throwing for 332 yards and five touchdowns. Not only were those numbers enough for the victory, but Brees entered the record books for the most games with five or more touchdown passes. The Saints haven’t looked this good on offense since winning the Super Bowl in 2009. (AP Photo/Bill Feig)

Losers: Pittsbur...A win against the Raiders could have been a turning point for the Steelers. Everyone would have forgotten about that atrocious 0-4 start. Instead, Roethlisberger and company let one slip away on the road despite a late fourth-quarter rally. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)
